Hayate no Gotoku! 270

Chapter 270

01

Klaus: Mikado-sama is being ridiculous asking you all to leave within a week.
Klaus: And Lady Nagi is being ridiculous asking you to find a house for 20 million yen.

Klaus: But somehow dealing with that ridiculousness...
Klaus: is our duty as butlers.

Hayate: This is...?

Klaus: This is the house...
Klaus: I wan given by Lady Yukariko long ago.

Left margin: The butlers, old and new, are working together. Will they find a new house for their lady...!?

Klaus: It's known as the "Outbuilding - Violet Mansion"...
Text & Title: He has been led to a run-down apartment building, but...Chapter 270 is "Every building and old man has a history."

03

Hayate: Wow, amazing.
Hayate: It's not a bad apartment building at all.
Klaus: Well, yes.

Hayate: But why do you have such a wonderful apartment building?
Hayate: By Yukariko-san you mean Lady Nagi's mother, right?
Klaus: Hm? Yes...
Klaus: It was because...

Klaus: Long ago...
Klaus: Lady Yukariko...asked me to marry her...
SFX: Blush...

Hayate: Eh? M-m-m-marry her!? Wouldn't that be a-a-a-adultery!?
Klaus: It happened when Lady Yukariko was still young!!

Klaus: It was about 30 years ago.
Klaus: As you can see in this picture, I was her butler.
SFX: Hold out

04

Hayate: Eh?
Hayate: Who is this?
Klaus: That's me. That's clearly me.

05

Hayate: Oh, so it's like when a serialization has been going on for a long time and a character's design is completely different at the end than it was in the beginning?
Text above Hayate: Like in "Southern Ice Hockey Club"!
Klaus: What do you mean by that!!?

Klaus: Anyway!
Klaus: One day, as I was working as Lady Yukariko's butler...

Yukkyun: Klaus!!
Yukkyun: Mawwy me!!

Klaus: Hah?
Klaus: Marry you?

06

Yukkyun: That's right!! Marry me! Marry me!
Yukkyun: Marry me and swear your eternal love for me!!

Klaus: I can't.
Yukkyun: Fwehhh!? Why not!?

Yukkyun: Do you...
Yukkyun: hate me...?

Klaus: I don't hate you.
SFX: Wind...
Klaus: But, milady, to marry me...

07

Klaus: To get married...
Klaus: you need something called a betrothal gift.

Yukkyun: A betrothal gift?

Klaus: Yes!! Since ancient times, there has been a law requiring a betrothal gift!
Klaus: In other words you have to shock the person you want to marry by giving them your most valuable possession!!
Yukkyun: Eh!? R-really!?

Klaus: So, without a betrothal gift from you, it would illegal for me to marry you!!
Klaus: We would be executed!!
Yukkyun: Fwehhhh!!?

08

Yukkyun: Fwehhh...?
Yukkyun: I see...

Yukkyun: Then I'll give you this!!
Klaus: Wow!!

Yukkyun: Well? Well? Are you surprised?
Yukkyun: This is the most valuable thing I own.
Yukkyun: Now we can get married, right?

Klaus: No, we can't.
Yukkyun: Fwehh!? Why noooot!?

Klaus: This run-down apartment doesn't shock me at all.
Klaus: It has to at least be an apartment tower...

09

SFX: Grind
Yukkyun: Then I'll knock it down and build an apartment tower...

Klaus: Don't touch my apartment!!
Yukkyun: Fwehhh!?

Klaus: Hoo ha ha ha ha!! You just gave me this apartment building!!
Klaus: I won't let you lay a finger on it!!
Yukkyun: Eh!? Th-that's not fair...!!

Yukkyun: This is the only land I owned, so give it back!!
Yukkyun: If you don't give it back, I can't build an apartment tower!!
Text left of Yukkyun: Geez!!

Klaus: No. If you want it back, get it back on your own.
Klaus: You'll have to wait until then to marry me!!

10

Yukkyun: Wahhh! You're such an idiot, Klaus!!
Text above Yukkyun: Beeee!!
Yukkyun: Your breath stinks!!
Klaus: Wait...!!
Klaus: Whose breath stinks!?

Klaus: And that's how I came into possession of this apartment building.
Hayate: I see...

Klaus: Well, after that, she fell out of love with me and stopped talking about marrying me.
Klaus: But she never asked for it back.
Klaus: On the other hand, it hasn't been lived in or worked on either.

Klaus: It's been like this...
Klaus: for 30 years now.

11

Klaus: I planned on giving it back to her...
Klaus: when I saw a good opportunity after she had grown up...

Klaus: But before she grew up, she got married...
Klaus: and she passed on before I could return it.

Hayate: Klaus-san...

Klaus: So this is a good opportunity.

12


Klaus: My new lady can live here.
Klaus: That's how I can return it.

Klaus: I don't know if you'll actually be able to rent it out...
Klaus: That's dependant to you.

Hayate: Klaus-san...

Hayate: Th-thank you so much!!
Klaus: Oh, but...

13

Klaus: It's a fairly old house and I've never actually lived in it.
Klaus: It may take a fair amount of work to make it livable.

Hayate: Leave that to me!!
Hayate: That's my specialty.

Hayate: Anyway...
Hayate: I need to tell Lady Nagi that I found a place for us to live.

SFX: Turn head
Klaus: What is it?

14

Hayate: N-nothing...
Hayate: Wh-what was that? I felt a presence just now...

Hayate: No...
Hayate: It was less like a presence and more like...

Hayate: murderous intent...?

Hayate: Um...Klaus-san? Did Yukariko-san get this apartment building from Mikado-sama?
Klaus: No...
Klaus: I don't know the details, but apparently she got it from someone rich who she got along well with.

Klaus: So it wouldn't have any connection with Mikado-sama.
Hayate: I see...

15

Nagi: Ohh, so Klaus had a building like that...
Hayate: Yes.

Nagi: I see. I guess there's a reason he's the Chief Butler.
Maria: Indeed.

Maria: But from what you said, it sounds like it's a fairly old building that we'll have to fix up.
Hayate: Yes.

Nagi: Then we can use the 20 million yen to pay for the repairs.
Maria: Yes, that's a good idea.

Hayate: But there's one thing that bothers me.
Nagi: Something bothers you?

16

Hayate: Yes. So tonight...
Hayate: I was thinking of spending the night there alone to check it out.

Nagi: Eh...?

Nagi: Y-you're going to be in an apartment building that's been empty for over 30 years...?
Nagi: For a whole night...?
Maria: Y-you...
Maria: certainly have courage...
Hayate: Yes, but, as I said, there's something that bothers me.

Nagi: Hayate...suicide is bad.
Maria: Your life is important, Hayate-kun.
Hayate: That's not what I meant...
Box: He has made them worry in a way he didn't intend.

Right margin: What was behind the murderous intent he felt from Yukariko's old apartment building? Next Chapter: Hayate is attacked by the destructive power of a
building that has been abandoned for 30 years!?
